Marathon Preview: "ESSENTIAL PSYCH" AT HIGH NOON

WTJU's roots run deep with psychedelia. Take a look at this vintage ticket stub from a Jimi Hendrix gig at the Virginia Beach Dome in 1968. It belongs to none other than WTJU's own head honcho Charles "Chuck" Taylor. Read all about Chuck's Experience with the Experience here.  

After absorbing that piece of personal history into your bloodstream, tune into 91.1 FM for Saturday's Rock Marathon tribute to Essential '60's Psychedelic Music — affectionately subtitled "My Flower is Drippy With the Dew of Your Mind — The Marathon Edition."

It was a time when rock 'n' rollers wrote songs about saffron, gnomes, marmalade skies, strawberry monkeys and having too much to dream the night before. Lady Jane, Lucy in the Sky and the playful Emily dwelled here, in this place where fuzztone guitars clashed with baroque string arrangements, where Leslie-'d vocals merged with backwards guitars. Grown men sang of seeing bamboo butterflies twice their normal size.   

More than forty years later, we still feel the flashback. Starting at noon on Saturday, you'll hear the freakiest, trippiest and most deliciously absurd recordings of the era —from "The" Pink Floyd, 13th Floor Elevators and (yes) Hendrix to Dantalion's Chariot, Euphoria, Tomorrow and other obscure sonic architects of yesterday's freakout.


My Flower is Drippy With the Dew of Your Mind: Saturday April 25 at 12 Noon. It's part of the WTJU Rock Fundraising Marathon — read more about that here.

The show follows DJ Hummingbird Feeder's funktastic 4-hours of James Brown. And stick around after the Psych for Brother Jimmy's "Bubblegum Music" show, because there's plenty of incense and peppermints to go around during these last days of the WTJU fundraising marathon.   

You can hear all of the great music by clicking this spot. And you can contribute to WTJU by calling us up at 434-924-3418 or 924-3959, or you can donate online right here.

Marathon Ad

Click here to view my design for what was supposed to be the marathon ad for the C-ville Weekly and the Hook. It was altered (not by me) to include the official logo / a few other things and the design at the top was omitted. I just didn't want this one to go to waste.

The new version also has Mistral font...

Oh, and here is my playlist from last night. I was in a bit of a Scandinavian balearic disco mood. Sorry for doubling up in one post!
